    Hi,
    I recently shifted to DSL connection which uses a router to connect to the net.
    The problem is with ZA-Pro and comodo as well.
    What happens is that when my dsl modem gets connected,the ZA wizard ask me whether to add it as a trusted zone or internet zone.
    I add it to the trusted zone.
    But what happens next is that ISP provider uses 3-4 Ip address and even after manually adding their config in ZA's trusted zones,my internet doesn't get connected it shows no or limited lan connection.
    plz help!

    Any issue without the FW? Most DSL connections use a dynamic address, so you will need to set a range of IP or manually add the new address after each modem shutdown.

    I leave my modem ON 24/7 so there is little chance of a address change.

    no problems w/o the firewall.
    i have had these problems before also and i therefore add the ip address manually.
    But since my my router choses between 4-5 ip-add for every connection it sometimes results in lan-icon in taskbar showing "limited or no connection"

    Can you set the FW to accept a range of IP?

    If it's a router..your PC should obtain a private class C address, such as 192.168.1.100. You can add the 192.168.1.xxx range as a trusted zone..so you can network PCs if you wish. The WAN IP of the router...the public IP..that can change every hour of the day if it wants to..the firewall should not care about it. The WAN IP is nothing to do with your trusted zone.
